Subject

Olympic College (Bremerton, Wash.)--History

Description

This video begins with a quick frame showing people on stage (looks possibly like an orchestra) with a backdrop of an American flag then moves to pictures of students in a classroom or lab. One woman is using an old adding machine or calculator where keys are punched then a handle pulled down. Various classroom scenes are shown including what seems to be a chemistry or biology lab, people diving and swiming in an indoor swimming pool, boarding a plane and taking off in a small airport and landing strip, playing basketball and jumping on a trampoline in the gym, scenes of cars driving in an unidentified street, what looks like it might be crowning of the homecoming queen, backpacking and rock climbing.
